The Global South is incredibly pressured by indigenous & multinational fossil fuels. Despite acute climate change awareness, climate mobilization is very hard. But it is not inexistent. Remarkably, the GS is also a space where courts have armed themselves and climate litigation is fought fiercely:

Contrary to expectations, women feel similarly threatened by feminism as men, which is driven by women’s generally higher predisposition to feel threatened. Further, men’s and women’s perceptions of feminism as threatening are associated with different political profiles

Analysis of our #data on #gender discrimination in the workplace was referenced in this @agendapublica.es article. Dani Marinova and Gabriela de Carvalho (@uab.cat 🇪🇸) found women were far more likely to experience discrimination at their employment than male respondents.

¿Ha servido el permiso de paternidad para reducir la discriminación laboral?

Un estudio con 3.950 progenitores muestra que el permiso no reduce el sesgo contra las madres y eleva la discriminación a los padres.

My round up of @economist.com's heatwave coverage (gift link) www.economist.com/europe/2026/...

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.

Spaghetti chart showing Oxford Radcliffe Observatory daily maximum temperatures for every day of the year from 1815 to 2026. 211 years of historical data are shown as very faint grey lines tracing a seasonal cycle from around 5°C in winter to a summer peak of roughly 25–30°C in July and August. A blue smoothed 30-day mean line highlights the average annual temperature cycle. The 2026 line is shown in bold red, running from January through to late May before spiking sharply upward to reach 33.7°C on 26 May, well above the entire historical grey envelope for that time of year. A single dashed red reference line marks the previous May record of 30.6°C set on 29 May 1944. The 2026 reading exceeds this by 3.1°C and, in statistical terms, is the 6th most anomalous maximum temperature in Oxford's 211-year record, ranking as the most anomalous May maximum ever observed and coming within 0.6°C of the all-time June record of 34.3°C set in 1976.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Do not miss our article published at @politicsgenderj.bsky.social Using content analysis and survey data, we show how generalist influencers in consumer markets produce anti-feminist content and how it can shape, reinforce, or shift public attitudes toward feminism
